Formation of artificial agarwood

Naturally synthesized agarwood requires a lengthy process of up to thirty years, which impede its continuous production. Therefore, recent effort has been allocated to the elucidation of agarwood formation to stimulate its process rapidly. In this study, we artificially induced agarwood formation by injection and inoculation of cultivated Aquilaria malaccensis with strains of Fusarium solani isolated from different places in Indonesia.
